PRISONERS ASSIST
Flooded Town Gets Food (N.Z. Press Assn—Copyright) BRISBANE, March 16. Prisoners were released from Stuart Gaol in Townsville today to rush food to flood-bound Ingham, northern Queensland. They took milk and bread from the gaol by truck and boat over a tortuous 70-mile route. With half of its 6000 population homelets from the worst floods in its history, Ingham is a hungry town today.
The food brought from the gaol was from the prisoners’ own supplies. “The prisoners offered the food themselves,” a gaol official said today.
